Geelong love this time of year and has the finals approached, it was no coincidence to see their form pick up. Tom Hawkins has been in stellar form having kicked 62 majors this year and has been well supported by sharp shooter James Podsiadly who has kicked 35 goals and 13 behinds.
The will miss the services though of Stevie Johnson who will serve a week’s suspension for rough conduct in last week’s win over Sydney. Will the Dockers being able to halt the Cats recent momentum? They do have one of the best defensive records of the teams participating in the finals but countering that is the fact that they have the poorest attack. Don’t think they’ll score enough points here to worry the Cats.
